Here is how you make ButternutSquash Soup sans Cream and fat!:

Boil or steam (or bake or roast) the cauliflower and squash in separate pots (cauliflower boils much faster than squash). At the same time cook your sausage. When its finished, place the sausage in a separate container and add your onions and garlic to the same pan. Add olive oil only if needed (sausage may provide enough juice already). Cook onions to your liking. Once the squash and cauliflower is finished drain and puree both in a food processor. Add onions and then your broth and milk slowly to help puree. I kept an extra cup of water (or broth or milk depending on what you like) on standby to get my thickness to my liking. Return to stove and heat on low. Add meat and pepper and any other spices you might like.Serve hot with some tobasco on the side. Serving Size: 8Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MSKNEENIE.
